Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
If you’re one of my couples, you love mountains, big open sky, adventure, romantic moments and finding meaning in everything. You see the ceremony as the most important part of your day. You want your officiant to really know you, and you want to feel profoundly tapped in to your love as you cross the threshold into your sweet married life.
Our modern wedding culture typically focuses on event planning (flowers, food, the party etc), with the ceremony and the relationship almost as an afterthought. If you’re one of my couples, you’ve been thinking, “This is all great, but it seems like there’s an opportunity here for our relationship. Is there anyone who is in charge of that?”
That’s me! My specialty is not only amazing ceremony, but to guide you on a deeply meaningful wedding passage journey on the way to your day. Just like a wedding planner oversees the event, vendors and party logistics, my expertise is to oversee the relationship-deepening level of your wedding experience in the months before and on the day-of.
During your ceremony, we will tell your story, laugh, cry, engage your guests and inspire. In the months before, we’ll reflect on what your day means to you, so that when you say “I do”, you feel it in your bones.
Want to see if we're a fit? Shoot me a message - we'll walk through how my ceremonies work, answer questions and get to know each other. Can't wait to meet you!

Coming from outside of Colorado, we initially wanted to self-solemnize, however we did not want to miss out on the true feeling of accomplishing a rite of passage. Working with Lisa was the perfect opportunity for us to marry correctly without having to worry about the logistics, making the process extremely easy while maintaining our initial goal of having an intimate, personal marriage experience.
We especially liked that Lisa reached out to us to have a discussion over the phone since we couldn’t meet in person. She spoke to us as someone getting to know us that genuinely cared about our marriage journey, rather than just a “sales person” selling themselves to us as an officiant.
We were happy to see that the questions she asked in the initial conversation over a year prior to our big day came back to light during our ceremony as we reflected on our answers and individual journey to marriage, making it a truly personal experience just for us.
We could not be any happier with our decision to have Lisa guide us through one of our most important rite of passages and are so grateful for the moment she was able to perfect for us

When it came to finding an officiant for our wedding, my wife and I were stumped at first. As an interfaith couple who doesn’t have close ties to any specific places of worship, we knew we’d have to find someone unknown to us. And while we were worried of having a “stranger” play the pivotal role of marrying us, we quickly became fully confident and comfortable with Lisa. After several video calls together, Lisa knew our love story inside and out, picked up on different quirks of our personalities, and earned our complete trust in being our officiant on the big day. Even though they were less familiar to her, Lisa even led several Jewish wedding customs during our ceremony. And when a rain cloud appeared out of nowhere, Lisa was super flexible and smooth with pausing our ceremony for an impromptu happy hour before we shared our vows. All worries about having a stranger standing beside us were wiped away, as Lisa felt more like an old friend. We LOVE Lisa and now will be reaching out to her through all stages of life. We would highly recommend entrusting her with the honors of marrying you on your big day.

Oh what can we say about Lisa. Everyone should be married by her. What a wonderful officiant. Bright, kind. Made us feel appreciated. Highly recommended by our venue coordinator, Barbara from Mount Vernon Canyon Club. She NAILED it! Can't say enough. She incorporated everything we wanted and more. Lisa, from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you so much. We and others will be talking about it our wedding forever. Thank you.

Lisa was incredible! She was so easy and fun to work with leading up to our ceremony. We had a somewhat non-traditional ceremony and she was very accommodating for all of our requests. She did an amazing job during the ceremony itself - her officiating was perfectly reflective of us as a couple and what we wanted. Our friends and family were complementing her and asking about her all night. Highly recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal! Lisa is very accomodating and does a (in my mind) perfect job with the ceremony! She spends the time to get to know you and incorporates that into the ceremony, making it feel truly personal and crafted to your story.
One of my favorite things about working with her are all the little activities that really remind you of why you've chosen to get married to begin with.
Lisa is an amazing officiant and we'll forever be grateful for the wonderful experience!

Ceremonies with Lisa is a wonderful company to work with! I was so happy to have Lisa officiate our wedding! She is so friendly, kind, calming, warm, inviting and very knowledgeable about the business. Communication throughout the entire process was so easy and fast. You can tell she takes so much pride in her work and it’s truly her passion. From the second I read her website I knew she was the one I wanted to stand in front of on our big day! She created the most wonderful experience for our elopement.

Lisa was the perfect officiant for our wedding. She set up multiple meetings with us (including an introductory call before booking) to get to know us, to help us write our vows and ceremony, and to practice. It was so great to be able to customize everything with her. On the day of the wedding, it was a relief to see her and interact with her during the ceremony. Many of my guests complimented her and loved how connected she was with us on the alter. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a unique ceremony experience (or I am sure she could put together a perfectly traditional ceremony as well). She is friendly and enthusiastic, and the perfect touch to one of the most important days of your life. Thank you, Lisa!

We are so happy that we went with Lisa for our officiant for our wedding on 10/14/23. She did a great job gathering information about us in order to create a meaningful and special ceremony. The ceremony was one of my favorite parts of our whole wedding weekend, and that's because of Lisa and her beautiful words. Our wedding guests kept coming up to us afterwards raving about how incredible the ceremony was. Lisa sends out fun couples activities to do together leading up to the wedding. Her tools that she provided to help write our own vows were also incredibly helpful. We are so happy to have had her as part of our special day and would recommend her to anyone!

Working with Lisa has been one of the biggest highlights of the entire wedding process for the two of us. She is an engaging energy, a thoughtful guide, and an active listener.
EVERYONE at our wedding commented about how beautiful & intentional our ceremony was. This is in major part to Lisa and her expertise in effectively conveying our relationship.
We are extremely grateful for her being a part of our journey in marriage ; not only in the months leading up & day of, but for our lifetime <3

We could not have asked for a more personal, emotional and touching ceremony. Lisa went above and beyond to make our ceremony extra special. She incorporated Jewish traditions and really got to know both me and my husband. We had so many guests come up to us after the ceremony saying it was the best wedding ceremony they had been to. They all felt Lisa did such a great job bringing them into our relationship and focusing on the monument of becoming husband and wife. Lisa was extremely responsive during our planning process, which took all of the stress out of the equation. We really enjoyed all of the activities Lisa sent to us, they brought us closer and were really great talking points around what marriage means to us, what we love about each other and how we feel like things will stay the same/change after our marriage. These activities helped us write our custom vows and align on our commitments that we wanted to make together as a couple. If you are looking for an officiant work with Lisa!!! Thank you, Lisa for being apart of our dream wedding team :)

Lisa was a fantastic officiant for our wedding this September. She was professional, transparent and easy to communicate with. Most importantly, she dedicated a good amount of time to getting know us and she encouraged us to be mindful of the ceremony portion of our wedding when it was all too easy to be focused on the event logistics and other small things. Overall, we had an extremely meaningful and personalized ceremony and hope to have a continued relationship with Lisa.

I am absolutely delighted to write this outstanding testimonial for Lisa, our wedding officiant. Lisa played an integral role in making our special day truly unforgettable, and we cannot thank her enough for her exceptional services.
From the very beginning, Lisa exhibited a level of professionalism and warmth that immediately put us at ease. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our love story, values, and vision for our wedding ceremony. This personal touch made all the difference, as she crafted a ceremony that felt uniquely tailored to us.
Lisa's ability to capture the essence of our relationship in her words was nothing short of remarkable. Her eloquent and heartfelt ceremony script left not a dry eye in the house. She managed to strike the perfect balance between sincerity, humor, and spirituality, creating a ceremony that was deeply meaningful to us and our guests.
Lisa's attention to detail was evident throughout the entire process. She was incredibly organized, ensuring that every aspect of the ceremony ran smoothly. She collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors, ensuring a harmonious flow to our special day. Her calming presence was a source of comfort amidst the inevitable pre-wedding nerves.
What truly sets Lisa apart is her genuine passion for what she does. She didn't just officiate our wedding; she elevated it to a level of beauty and significance that we could have only dreamed of. Her dedication to creating a ceremony that was a true reflection of our love story was evident in every word she spoke.
In the end, our wedding ceremony was a magical and emotional experience, thanks in large part to Lisa's talents and dedication. Our guests still rave about how touching and memorable the ceremony was, and we have Lisa to thank for that.
Lisa is not just a wedding officiant; she is a true artist of love and celebration. If you are looking for someone who will pour their heart and soul into creating a ceremony that reflects your unique love story, look no further than Lisa. She is a gem in the world of wedding officiants, and we are forever grateful for the incredible gift she gave us on our wedding day!

Having Lisa as our officiant was a highlight of our wedding. Over the course of roughly a year she guided us through bonding activities and got to know our story through zoom meetings. She wrote a beautiful ceremony script and truly helped us to express ourselves in the most powerful way possible during our ceremony. Our guests repeatedly commented on how much they loved the ceremony and her as an officiant. She was pleasant, professional and responsive at all times. We highly recommend her services!

Lisa is absolutely wonderful! She spent a lot of time with us before our wedding to think through and remember everything about our relationship and the love we share. She spent time to get to know us personally and wrote a script for our ceremony that was so special to our relationship and life together. Lisa has clearly spent many hours curating materials that guide couples through the different aspects of building on their strong bond and considering all of the little pieces of the relationship that shine in a wedding ceremony, and set the stage to keep the fire ignited in the years to come. Lisa had the perfect script, but also was ready to roll with the many distractions that came with our wedding. The biggest one being able to stay focused while also highlighting all the adorable moments where our dogs were stealing the show (which was exactly what we told her we wanted!) 10/10 would recommend Lisa to anyone! So many of our guests asked us how we found the perfect officiant and if she would be willing to fly across the country for their own weddings!

Lisa helped us to understand the core of our relationship and helped us to put into words our feelings and reasons to make this commitment. She has multiple meetings with you to really get to know you as a couple and as individuals. She is understanding of multiple perspectives and honors your beliefs. She really dedicated so much time to ensure our ceremony was personalized and highlighted the heart of who we are together. After the ceremony, literally every guest we spoke to told us how beautiful and personalized our ceremony was. Lisa did a phenomenal job in helping make our wedding so special.

SHORT ANSWER: My husband and I recommend Lisa 10/10! If you want a meaningful, poetic/creative, personalized vow ceremony focused on you and your spouse's love story, for an elopement or intimate small/micro wedding, and you would like an officiant who is wonderful at corralling you and/or your small groups/families, who is a naturally charismatic performer (former musician) but also deeply connected to the quiet sacredness of the moment, and will step back and give y'all space and time to enjoy and feel your vows - look no further! Work with LISA! :)
LONG ANSWER:
Lisa is phenomenal, and has earned all her 5-star reviews! We ended up being lucky enough to get Lisa as our officiant at the actual event (Ceremonies with Lisa is a small business run by Lisa and made up of her and a group of wonderful officiants with whom she works closely). My husband and I are from Colorado but were living out-of-state prior to our wedding, and knew we wanted to do an elopement/micro-wedding back home in the mountains, which led us to Lisa. Lisa spent a lot of time getting to know us in the initial call and shared her amazing backstory, too. We immediately felt we could trust Lisa in that she provided high value in her expertise, character/warmth, and well-run small business at an affordable price compared to many other officiants elopements. After we booked her, she helped us decide on a location and time, and our ceremony fell into place. In the year before the ceremony, we received outreach emails with thoughtful ideas for us to prepare for our upcoming nuptials, and her wedding questionnaire was honestly such a lovely process itself that brought us closer together over many meaningful dates answering those questions. She shared tons of resources online and guidance during the year to help us get our venue booked with instructions to find it in the mountains for us/guests, marriage license organized, vendors squared away. We decided to get our own wedding photographer and found Dylan Crossley (who is amazing and we recommend highly, they know each other well from working prior weddings together though Dylan is not officially connected to Ceremonies with Lisa) since we prefer to have one individual photographer whose style/portfolio we love specifically vs a collective/group of photographers. Lisa was super flexible with this process of us finding the right photographer, and had many other recommended vendors! :) (S/o to wise artistry + Dawn for hair/makeup; birch and bramble for flowers).
When it came time for the actual ceremony, Lisa organized the morning in such a seamless way that kept us calm and excited; she made sure the guests were positioned in the Sunrise Amphitheater for pictures, got everyone hyped up, coordinated the groom's + bride's entrance beautifully. During the ceremony, she did such a lovely job with our introduction and readings, and also had us pause multiple times to reflect on specific memories in our relationship that really had us tearing up and connecting deeply to the emotions of the day. She also stepped back when we read our personal vows to give us space to enjoy the moment and each other. During the ring exchange and pronouncement, she helped us feel the weight and gravity but also the lightness and joy of the moment. She has fun traditions of taking selfies with the bride+groom and made the signing of our marriage certificate another memorable moment. Such a special day, such a special officiant. THANK YOU LISA!

Working with Lisa was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Aerial and I felt drawn to Lisa from her website and that energy was validated over and over in our months of working together. Lisa was such a great advocate and guide during the pre-wedding process, taking the time to invest in getting to know us and our love story, and giving us the exercises to prepare and make meaning out of our ceremony and the entire wedding prep experience. The most common comment throughout the wedding night was - "that was the best ceremony I've ever seen," which is more validation to the end result, in addition to the wonderful prep experience. We would highly highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a wedding officiant and we hope to stay in touch with her over the years ahead.

When we began thinking about what we wanted our wedding to be like, we knew we wanted to elope - we had both had big weddings before and agreed the prices in the wedding industry are exploitative and that they seem to have become parties for the guests, which takes away from the true essence of the occasion. Thinking about what we wanted to feel on that day and in those moments was our guide in making decisions - 'will this decision cause us to feel that way, or not?' We knew we wanted an intimate experience where we could fully honor the commitment we were making and to focus on our love for one another. We also wanted to go somewhere we'd never been, and the bride wanted pinterest-worthy mountainside elopement pictures. We settled on Boulder and followed a Pinterest trail to Sharee, which led us to Ceremonies with Lisa. Lisa confirmed she works with Sharee and shared more about all the things CWL offers. As much as we wanted that super intimate experience, the idea of randomly stepping off to the side to exchange vows mid-photography session felt extremely awkward. The structure and support of having Lisa there during our ceremony is what made it feel like an actual ceremony. She helped ground us to the moment and guided us through the ceremony, which flowed perfectly and was so comfortable and specific to us as individuals and a couple. She did step away while we exchanged personal statements which gave us an even deeper element to that intimacy and also allowed for some beautiful photos. Aside from officiating, Lisa also was extremely helpful and informative during the entire engagement and wedding-planning process; being from out of state, her recommendations for other vendors and things to do during our trip was invaluable. She checked in with us periodically to see if there was anything we needed and had a lot of helpful information not only about the actual elopement but in preparing to create our own ceremony and write our own vows. Lisa has such a bright, loving energy and really makes you feel she is genuinely excited for you and wants to be there for you in any way she can. That excitement and encouragement has meant so much to us! If you're on the fence about working with CLW (and if you've read this far to the end of the review) we could not recommend her more. You will 100% not be disappointed. Our elopement was incredible and everything we hoped for, and there is no doubt in our minds this would not have been the case if we had chosen not to work with Lisa.

Our experience with Lisa was above and beyond anything we could've imagined. Overall, we think that hiring Lisa for our Story Ceremony & Journey was the best decision we made for not only our wedding, but the start of our marriage.
We had so much fun on calls with Lisa, and writing and working on our ceremony felt so natural and easy. When it came to the day of the wedding, we were both most excited for the ceremony, and to say the vows that we had carefully crafted. What I loved most about the process was how, through Lisa's questions and guidance, everything came from us, from our story and our love, and will be there to guide us for years to come.
We're so grateful for Lisa and would recommend her to everyone!

Even with just a couple zoom meetings everyone at our wedding was asking how long we have known her and that is a saying something about how personable she is!! And she is very active even after the wedding which is amazing most are just the wedding and then done she cares even after which indicates how great of a person she really is thank you again Lisa!

Lisa was above & beyond anything you could imagine for a wedding ceremony officiant. She spent countless hours getting to know us, what makes us tick, and what makes us so special as a couple. Dozens of our ~110 guests told us it was hands down the MOST beautiful ceremony they'd ever attended. Nearly everyone asked about Lisa and how we met/how she knew us so well. We could not speak more highly of Lisa - her emotional intelligence, attention to detail, and overall professionalism - and helping us craft a ceremony TOGETHER to share the most powerful messages in creating a transformative experience for everyone. If you have any doubt in your mind, BOOK LISA. I promise this is one of the very best wedding decisions you can make.

Lisa was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day (other than saying I do, of course!). She made sure we were present and soaking in every second, even in the months before the wedding. She helped us define our core commitments to each other and write perfect, meaningful vows that we'll revisit each year on our anniversary. Lisa spent so much valuable time with us to ensure our ceremony was meaningful, warm, joyful, and full of love, everything we wanted it to be and more! We highly recommend Lisa and can't thank her enough!

This review has been a long time coming! Brody and I were married August 2022 and the day was incredible. Lisa was amazing to say the least. From the first call to get to know us she made us feel like the only couple she was working with. The ceremony was better than I could have ever imagined honestly. It’s a bit nerve wracking when you’re out of state and don’t get to meet the person officiating your marriage but Lisa really surpassed our expectations and got to know us so well via phone and text. If you don’t chose her for your Boulder/Estes ceremony I truly believe you are missing out. Thank you for everything!

Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with - in fact, she was the highlight of our wedding. All of our guests kept commenting on how authentic and genuine she was throughout the ceremony. Working with Lisa was stress-free and enjoyable. She is incredibly organized, so really all you have to do is follow her outline (whatever it may be, from scheduling your license to writing your vows to picking out readings). She is also just a joy of a person to work with and is so accommodating. Whatever ceremony you want, Lisa will make it happen!

Lisa is so amazing!!! She guided us through everything ceremony-related, and really made our experience an unforgettable one. One of the things she did for us that I really loved was that she gave us a vow kit and guided us through writing our vows together and individually. During the ceremony itself, Lisa was spectacular. She had us all pause and take in the important moments while encouraging us to make the ceremony our own. Everyone that we’ve talked to after our wedding said the ceremony was the most memorable part for them, and that Lisa was a very large part of that.

Lisa was amazing! We weren’t sure what to do for an officiant, but we are so glad we found her! From the first meeting, she was very friendly and made it clear that she would create a unique ceremony that represented us. We enjoyed meeting with her several times over zoom beforehand, where we got to know each other, and it helped add a personal touch to the ceremony. During our outdoor wedding ceremony, it poured rain, but Lisa continued with a smile and was a very calming force. Despite the rain, she didn’t rush anything and allowed us to truly appreciate every moment. We heard from many people that our ceremony was the best they'd ever been to, and I whole-heartedly agree! As one of our guests said afterwards, "I felt like I just had therapy!". Thanks Lisa!

Lisa is absolutely wonderful. We had her officiate our wedding, as we wanted all of our friends to be present in the moment. We could not recommend her enough. From the early stages of meeting her, to after the ceremony- she provides a supportive and incredibly grounding experience. She was exactly the guidance that we were looking for, both before and after marriage. She checks in throughout the entire process and made us feel so calm and confident during the ceremony. Truly, such a wonderful person and you know you are in good hands with her leading the way to your future!

Working with Lisa is easily one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. We loved working with her. She is incredibly thoughtful and organized, and we felt like she really got to know us. She really built in incredibly thoughtful and intentional process that also allowed us to reconnect with the why of why we had decided to get married and have a wedding. Lisa have us great advice, that really help ground us, and it helped give us the perspective to stay positive, focused, and to really enjoy our day. We were so happy with how our ceremony turned out. Our guests found it to be quite moving, and assumed Lisa was old friend based on how she described us. It was a wonderful process, and Lisa really makes you feel like she sees you and is taking in all that you share with her. She shows her couples a lot of care, is incredibly professional, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

We have so many great things to say about working with Lisa! It was important to us to find someone who would really get to know us so our ceremony could be authentically personal. Lisa was willing to have as many meetings as necessary and has a unique, well-developed process that enabled us to get deeper and deeper each time we met. Her games and date night ideas really helped us to figure out what we wanted out of our ceremony and guided us to writing our vows. She was able to pick up on so many little things about our relationship that we wouldn't have been able to articulate ourselves which made the ceremony so special. We had so many compliments about the ceremony and of Lisa in particular. Can't recommend her enough!

I am struggling for words to express how grateful I am for your guidance and witness and ministering during this transition. Evan and I have been talking a lot about how glad we are we worked with you and wrote our own vows, something I'm not sure we would have done otherwise. And our actual ceremony was so much more than we imagined it would be. Your reverence and joy are contagious. We were able to be ourselves, strong emotions and all ;)
We loved everything about your vow adventure kit and how you guided us through the process of ceremony-creation. The talks we had, prompted by your questions and the vow-writing process, brought us closer as a couple in the weeks before our wedding. I also loved that you focused on deciding on shared commitments. We got to our wedding day knowing exactly what we were promising one another, and they were mutual promises. It just feels like a powerful foundation for our marriage. It's what I was longing for but didn't know exactly how to bring it about for us.
And as for the ceremony itself, I felt so guided and supported, without having to worry about all of the details. I don't know if I shared with you that one of the reasons I chose to work with you was because when I read through your website and materials, I got chills and tears and I just felt an authenticity radiating from you. I'm so glad I trusted that and we had you as our officiant. You're so grounded and thoughtful and kind. Thank you so much again for everything <3

You gave us everything we hoped for and more on our wedding day! We really enjoyed the activities you gave us leading up to our ceremony. And the whole guide you made that walked us through the ceremony and vow creation something that might have been stressful or a source of disappointment into a fun and foundational start to the rest of our lives! The customization of our ceremony made the event of getting married so much more meaningful than we ever hoped for. Plus, your warmth and enthusiasm propelled us forward and highlighted our big day.

Lisa is an incredible officiant and I'm so grateful we found her! She created a deeply meaningful ceremony for us that really spoke to us as a couple and allowed us to savor the experience. It really was a perfect day and the ceremony was everything we could have wanted. She really knocked it out of the park for us! I couldn't stop thinking about it. She really did such an awesome job guiding us through this life milestone, and I’m so glad we trusted her with it!

Working with you was the best experience I could have imagined! While doing research and I mean a ton of research throughout Colorado and Florida your website left the biggest impression on me and I just kept coming back. Then when we had our first call i knew for sure you would be the one to do our ceremony! You felt like a friend immediately and it was easy to tell you about our journey. You took the time to get to know us and personalize our whole ceremony and experience was incredible! In such a short time you helped walk us through the whole process to make everything up to ceremony day seamlessly simple. And ceremony day was beyond words! It didn’t feel like we were meeting a stranger, it felt like we already knew you! The ceremony itself was so beautiful and so intimate and it was more than we could have imagined! We loved everything about our ceremony you were amazing, the location was a dream and the over all experience was unimaginable! We never imagined we could experience something like this and it wouldn’t have been possible without you! Thank you for everything! Our wedding day changed our whole lives!

"Of all the websites that popped up, yours spoke to me - immediately. I could tell by your words, stories, and photographs that you had a kind way about you. I wanted to have someone marry us who really cared about what they were doing (which you clearly do), and someone who made an effort to get to know us...becoming an integral part of our ceremony (which you did - beautifully). I loved your genuine, honest approach, sense of humor, great attention to detail, and your availability to answer questions and provide suggestions in a timely manner. I could not have asked for more. I thought from the beginning that you stood out - now I know that to be true!
Thank you for all your effort and thoughtfulness."

We loved working with Lisa to create our ceremony! Everyone commented after the ceremony that it was like she had known us our whole lives, as it fit us perfectly. Lisa made it so easy to not only complete the logistics of a wedding, but to also remember to celebrate what marriage means in the months, weeks, and days prior.
Lisa was so willing to follow our lead, to do what we wanted, and to make it special and so personalized! We wanted a simple but heartfelt ceremony, and that’s exactly what we got! Lisa was wonderful to work with and she helped make our day even more special!

Lisa was amazing! She takes the time to get to know you and your spouse. She made everything super easy also with adding all the necessary details. I would recommend her to anyone needing an officiant on their special day.

We sought out Lisa to officiate our wedding because we wanted a unique ceremony that would be the highlight of our wedding day. By talking to Lisa about our ideal ceremony, she helped us realize we wanted a ceremony that was above all, authentic to us. We also wanted our guests to feel engaged in the ceremony rather than feel as though they were a passive ‘audience’. Lisa did an incredible job executing on this vision. She helped us pull out the most important values in our relationship by encouraging our self reflection. When it came to our vows, her activities enabled us to dial right into what was important to us. I can’t imaging having a wedding day without this self reflection. It was absolutely key in setting us up for our marriage life and a meaningful marriage day.
I was nervous to stand in front of all of our guests on our ceremony day, but once I was up there, Lisa made me feel so at ease. She encouraged my partner and I to focus in on each other and her light hearted energy allowed me to sink into the moment. After the ceremony, we received compliments upon compliments about how our ceremony was ‘so us’ and that the guests felt like they were a part of it — exactly what we had told Lisa we hoped for. The ceremony was my favorite part of the wedding day and I will never forget the moments of standing up there.

Lisa made our wedding day so effortless and magical. We flew in from out of state, and meeting Lisa in-person for the first time was like reuniting with an old friend. She is so warm, friendly, and kind - she is the sort of person you feel instantly at ease with.
Her ceremony-building activities are fun and easy to follow. Lisa is so thorough and organized, and she provides a ton of resources to help you write your vows and customize your ceremony in a way that’s thoughtful, simple, and fun. She clearly puts a lot of care and consideration into her ceremonies, and took the time to tailor-fit everything to us so it felt even more special and authentic than we dreamed of.
Though I don’t expect to need another wedding officiant myself, I would choose Lisa again 100 times over. She is incredible at what she does, she is dedicated to her couples, and she is a bright soul that added so much joy to our wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Book her ASAP - she’s the absolute gold standard.

Lisa was absolutely amazing! She takes the time to get to know you before your big day, sends helpful emails to help with vows, resources on places to dine and stay, especially if you are from out of state; like we were. She also helped us all to stay relaxed through the entire ceremony with her confidence and warm smile. Everything went smoothly and she makes you feel like she’s known you for a long time, and believes in your love and your marriage. It wouldn't have been the same without her. I definitely recommend anyone getting married in Colorado to hire ceremonies by Lisa.

Everyone loves Lisa! I'll tell you why with a few reviews in one here. My review - I really appreciate her sincerity, positive energy, and focus on truly knowing a couple to develop a ceremony that represents who they are and what they want the ceremony to be. She provides relationship tools and support to the extent you want it too which is nice and customizable. She's easy & fun to work with, professional & prompt and quick witted on the fly day of. She just nailed it! Hubby Ben's review: yeah, she's cool. Wedding guest (in astonishment): OMG WHERE DID YOU FIND HER? SHES AMAZING. DOES SHE COME WITH THE PLACE? (my response: um google). My image focused mom: She's cute and smiles. It'll look nice in the pictures. So there you have it, Everyone loves Lisa! Thanks Lisa :)

We met with Lisa around 6 months before our wedding, and during that time period she spent hours with us as a couple truly getting to know us, what was important to us, and helped us find and develop our core values together. On our wedding day, it was as if Lisa had known us for years, and the storytelling and ambiance she was able to do for both us and our guests was nothing short of magical. It was an extremely emotional and memorable day, and Lisa played a major part in that!
We are blessed to have found her, and cannot recommend her enough.

Lisa was a DREAM to work with! You get what you pay for and she made our ceremony so unique and special, we had several people come up to us and say how it was easily one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to. She spent so much time working with us and revising our ceremony to make it tell our story just how we wanted it. So graceful, professional, and memorable. 10/10 would recommend Lisa, she will tell your story how you want it told but in a way your guests will always remember! We will cherish our ceremony and her calming presence up there with us!

When I think of Lisa I think of Maya Angelou’s quote, “…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
From our first meeting Lisa made us feel so comfortable. She spent time in the consultation really getting to know us and learning about our coming together. You could just tell that she was genuinely happy and excited for us.
Lisa has an incredible program in place with workbooks, activities, and meetings leading up to your wedding day. We learned so much!
We loved creating our ceremony and truly making it our own, all with Lisa’s guidance.
Lisa is a gifted writer. Our family and guests were captivated by the way she shared our story. Every party of the ceremony was so perfect and we extremely grateful for Lisa’s part in that.
We love Lisa’s energy and look forward to working with her again for baby blessings and new home blessings and ceremonies. Thank you Lisa for helping to make our special day so sacred and incredible.
Love,
The Corbett’s

Lisa has been absolutely magical right from the start - she has a wonderful way of being warm and kind, while still remaining professional. She took time to really get to know us as a couple, and truly cares, checking in regularly even after our wedding to congratulate us on anniversaries and give us lovely little "love adventure" activities.
The preparation process she uses to create ceremonies is beyond amazing, she's so incredibly detail-oriented and asks couples to really dig deep into the core of their connection to find what's most important to them in their marriage. I seriously wonder if she's ever had couples decide NOT to get married after asking themselves some of these tough relationship questions! LOL But for those of us who have a genuine connection, it only deepens the bond and allows us to articulate our feelings. And in the process, she hones in on exactly what we need to create the perfect wedding ceremony.
The ceremony itself was simply magic. Lisa couldn't have been more at ease, which put us at ease, and her upbeat yet centered energy with the bridal party and audience made sure her delivery was outstanding. The ceremony she created for us was very non-traditional and earth-based, but she did it in a way that even the devout Catholics in our family weren't phased, because the entire thing was just beautiful and full of genuine love. We had so many people come up after Lisa left to tell us how much they enjoyed her!
Lisa made the whole process of preparing for our wedding, and the big day itself so special... I wish we could get married again! We may very well have her come do some other ceremonies with us in the future. :)

We had a unique experience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Colorado wedding was rescheduled TWICE due to COVID-19 and we ended up just eloping in Hawaii instead. Even though we only ever met virtually, from the very beginning Lisa was a fantastic officiant -- she goes way beyond the "officiant" role and really felt like a premarital guide helping us explore our relationship and values as we planned the wedding(s). When we decided to elope, we asked if she would continue working with us, and she guided us through writing our vows, wrote our ceremony for our friend who was officiating, and even met with her via Zoom to help her prepare to officiate for the first time. Lisa was a really integral part of our wedding experience and continually reminded us to focus on each other and our relationship amid all the logistics. Her ceremony- and vow-planning exercises and activities brought us closer, made us think deeply about our relationship, and made our wedding even more meaningful than we would have imagined. We ended up with a beautiful ceremony that would only have been better if we'd been able to have Lisa there. Totally recommend her!

We hired Lisa as our officiant for our June wedding at the Denver Botanic Gardens, but you have her for so much more than just your ceremony! Her process of getting to know you as well as her tips, exercises and advice for a harmonious marriage are absolutely amazing and a welcome part of the months leading up to our big day.
On the wedding day itself, Lisa knocked the ceremony out of the park and every.single.person in attendance thought that she was a close friend that we had known for many years! A quick side note, Lisa is also a fabulous singer!
There were a handful of snafus/issues with the sound system and AV techs at the gardens, but Lisa kept the whole thing moving without a hitch and with plenty of humor. :)
We cannot thank Lisa enough for her expertise, warmth, and passion for what she does! The ceremony was amazing and everything we hoped it would be.

With her warmth, sincerity and compassion for what she does, Lisa Hunter was everything we hoped for in a wedding officiant.
Lisa was the perfect fit for us, as we wanted to create our own unique ceremony mixing traditional with non-traditional religious and wedding customs. Initially we were hesitant about designing our own ceremony, but as soon as we talked to Lisa, it was a go! She reassured us that we could do and have exactly what we wanted and that she would walk us through the steps to achieve our dream wedding ceremony. Lisa talked with us, took an interest in us and in our family, and encouraged us to enjoy and connect with each other on a deeper level throughout the planning phases of our wedding. Through her “soul of my wedding” emails, we came to realize that the process of planning our ceremony would be as important as the ceremony itself. With lisa’s ceremony prep documents and guides, we were able to create something of our own that was unique and personal. Lisa was right there to guide us, always open to our thoughts and ideas and sharing her expertise.
Lisa’s website says. “Elopements and weddings with heart and soul”. We say, nothing could be more accurate! Our backyard wedding -surrounded by our kids and other family, and with Lisa who felt like one of the family, was so full of “heart and soul” and joy and love. Because Lisa took the time to get to know us, and listened to what we wanted and hoped for, we had the wedding ceremony of our dreams.
